DC Greg Posted January 18 Posted January 18 We're going to win. It's our time, our year. I'm usually careful to say that, but I have a good feeling Josh and company get the job done. Quote

DasNootz Posted January 18 Posted January 18 I think the crowd will be absolutely insane to start, like stadium of rabid dogs. 1 Quote
Cvanvol7 Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Interestingly enough, this is only the 11th time Mahomes has ever been an underdog and the 2nd postseason game he has been an underdog. This is also the Largest spread he has seen as last years Super Bowl finished at Chiefs +1 or +1.5 Quote

The Bills are also the last team to beat them as Underdogs and the only team to ever be favored in Arrowhead since Mahomes first three games of his career... Quote

I'm well aware of that but I can tell you the Chiefs care about that as much as Allen winning 3 straight regular season games there....it's as meaningless as it gets. This is also why I wish in some ways the Bills would have lost that game earlier this year, obviously wouldn't have won the division but they'd have a much better shot than trying to beat the Chiefs twice in the same season (regular + playoffs) which is something only Joe Burrow can hold claim too.

Mahomes is 8-1-1 ATS as an underdog which is the stat that scares me the most. I'm not sure if that includes 2017 because he only started one game that year. Edited January 18 by Doc Brown Quote
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 18 Posted January 18 For everyone who said they are calm, I look forward to your manic posts like 5 minutes into the game in the gameday thread. 3 Quote

It does include 2017. Quote
RyanC883 Posted January 18 Posted January 18 I think our LBs will be fine. We stop the KC running game. We stop the passing game with our secondary (CBs also fine). We come at KCs improved D with multiple looks like we did to PGH by running, using Kincaid, etc, and throw in some deep to Diggs, and we win by 7-10. Quote
wppete Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Josh Allen is going to put on the performance of his career. Defense gets 3 turnovers. Quote

Superbowl is usually neutral site, not a road game. Tampa was the exception but that was Covid year where the stadium was nearly empty. 17 minutes ago, Miyagi-Do Karate said: For everyone who said they are calm, I look forward to your manic posts like 5 minutes into the game in the gameday thread.

Lfod Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) My gut feeling was the team almost didnt make the playoffs and managed to win the division. I feel better about the situation than I did before that is for sure. I feel the Chiefs are not as strong as usual but if the Bills are not productive enough at stealing time and scoring points the Chiefs will take advantage of being allowed to hang around. If the Bills don't dominate and the score is close then I fear prevent defense and playing not to lose and will probably lose. The only team that can beat the Bills are themselves.
